Clinical application progress of Piggyback intraocular lens implantation / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

@#With the continuous progress and development of modern surgical equipment, the types of intraocular lens and the continuous improvement of people's requirements for visual quality, cataract surgery has been transformed from traditional vision restoration surgery into a high-quality and high-demand refractive surgery. Piggyback intraocular lens implantation was originally a new surgical method for clinicians to implant two or more posterior chamber intraocular lenses in patients' eyes to correct hyperopia or secondary correction refractive errors after cataract surgery. With the birth and promotion of functional lenses in recent years, this surgical method has been applied to the field of refractive cataract surgery, which expanded the application of functional intraocular lens and achieved good postoperative effect. This review discusses the development and current clinical application of Piggyback intraocular lens implantation, and further expounds its development trend in the future.
